Drop in Sync

I used to get the full 8mb when it wasn't busy but for the last month or so i've been on profile 5500.

A friend of mine who's with a different ISP and lives 1/4 mile away has noticed the same.

I've checked with Samknows and it says expected speed 6mb now.

Your sync depends only on your phone line, internal wiring, and router. It is independant of network load. To get any sensible replies you'll have to post up the connection stats from your router.

First if ADSL is active, then ignore what the pre-qualification checkers say.

Are you saying you used to have a 7150 profile and it has dropped to 5500 now?

Same happened round here early this year. When i went round to 8 of my friends houses all our sync speeds had dropped between 1 and 2 meg. And its permanent . I went from 7.2 meg to 5.9 - 6.1 at best now. My conclusion is when BT were replacing a lot of underground cabling a few hundred metres away ( which meant all the phones were off ) they probably put aluminium back in or something .

Or more likely the target margin was raised from 6dB to 9dB

Not aware of BT deploying aluminium cabling anymore.

Succinct, and to the point.

Or replacement of the DSLAM's with WBC-capable kit.

More than one Entanet user has reported sync speed drops on good high-speed lines, not long ones, when moved to the WBC platform even though still on ADSL(1).
